The Drifter (84) chords by Carl Perkins
Verse 1
A
He was a drifter,
E
drifting on from town to town
He was a drifter that put
John
A
Brady in the ground
He was a drifter,
E
true love made him go astray
He was a drifter, now in
Am
Yuma he must stay.
The scene was a western barroom,
Dm
E
the time about sundown.
Am
That's when the drifter came to town.
He rode into
Dm
E
Yuma with his gun
strapped to his side
Looking for
John
Am
Brady, the man that took his pride
He walked into the barroom,
E
but no one knew his name
He spotted old
John
Am
Brady in a poker game
They walked outside and a thirsty
E
crowd began to gather round
Each man took ten paces,
Am
but the drifter cut him down
And the marshal took the drifter,
E
put him in the calypso
His hours they were numbered,
Am
till he'd have to face the deuce
Then darkness came to
E
Yuma and the western town was still
A screamin' leech mob took the
Am
drifter and hung him on a hill
E
A
He was the drifter,
E
driftin' on from town to town
He was the drifter that put
John
A
Brady in the ground
He was a drifter,
E
true love made him go astray
He was a drifter,
Am
now in the old he must stay
you
